    • Use the flat end of a spudger to disconnect the interconnect cable by prying the connector straight up from its socket.

    • To re-attach press connectors like this one, carefully align and press down on one side until it clicks into place, then repeat on the other side. Don't press down on the middle. If the connector is misaligned, the pins can bend and cause permanent damage.

    Hello there, I have damaged the interconnect cable during the screen replacement process, do you offer replacement cables for sale?
